FIFTY YEARS LOW-PRESSURE SODIUM LIGHTING. THE PAST, TODAY AND THE FUTURE

VIJFTIG JAAR LAGEDRUK NATRIUMVERLICHTING. VERLEDEN, HEDEN EN TOEKOMST

In 1932 low-pressure sodium lighting was first introduced in a commercial application. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of low-pressure sodium lighting this paper deals with past and future lamp development making clear why low-pressure sodium lamps have had and are expected to have the highest luminance efficacy of all lamps. The relation between spectral properties and visual reliability is dealt with. Finally the broadening field of application of low-pressure sodium lighting is discussed. This paper was presented at the Public Lighting Conference 1982, Technical Seminar. Churchill College Cambridge, 14th-16th September 1982. (TRRL)
